Knife crime in the UK has reached “national epidemic” levels, with 53,000 offences recorded in England and Wales in the year to March 2025. But how has this tragedy become so dangerously normalised, and what is the Labour government actually doing to tackle it?

We look into the tragic killing of 16-year-old Ronan Kanda, who was murdered in 2022 with a ninja sword purchased online by two 17-year-olds in a case of mistaken identity. 

Ronan’s mother, Pooja Kanda, joins us to discuss the campaign that led to ‘Ronan’s Law’ - banning these deadly weapons and increasing sentences for illegal sales. Pooja also talks about the now-closed company, DNA Leisure, which sold the sword that killed Ronan and is linked to multiple teenage murders. 

Plus, we’re joined by The Telegraph’s crime editor, Martin Evans, to break down the latest government response, including the new Knife Licensing Consultation and the launch of the National Knife Crime Coordination Centre.

‘My teenage son was killed by a ninja sword. I had to fight to ban them’

Since being forced to resign over a mini-Budget that spooked the markets, Liz Truss has become something of a bogeyman for not just the Left but the Tories too.

But Ms Truss insists she was “sabotaged” by the Bank of England and the Blob, and that Britain is being run by an “unelected technocracy”.

The former prime minister tells Tim and guest host Rachel Johnson how she was “radicalised” by being in government; why she admires Donald Trump; and, with Keir Starmer in Beijing this week, how “British officialdom is beholden to China”.

Plus, she reveals whether she would join Nigel Farage’s party, following Robert Jenrick’s defection, and warns: “the Blob is trying to infiltrate Reform”.

Liz Truss: The Blob is infiltrating Reform

Kemi Badenoch has attacked both Labour and Reform for being “addicted to psychodrama”, and called recent defectors from her party “drama queens”. Tim is joined by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg to digest the speech.

Tim also spoke to the Tory leader after she’d stepped off stage and put to her the suggestion – made by Sir Jacob on social media – that the Tories shouldn’t field a candidate in Gorton and Denton in order to leave Reform a clear path.

Elsewhere, Rees-Mogg makes the case for Shamima Begum to be allowed to return to the UK, and the Reverend Richard Coles talks to Tim and Jacob about the confirmation of new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally.

Jacob Rees-Mogg on Tory ‘psychodrama’: Badenoch and Farage must work together

Camilla and Tim are joined by political commentator and co-founder of the ‘Triggernometry’ podcast, Konstantin Kisin.

Kisin, Russian by birth but a British citizen who’s lived in the UK for the last thirty years, does not hold back on why Britain is “increasingly irrelevant” in the global pecking order, whether it’s through the “industrial suicide” of net zero, the “weakness” of diversity or Keir Starmer’s “cosying up to China” instead of aligning more closely with Donald Trump.

He also explains why Reform offer the best hope of fixing Britain’s current malaise, despite potentially having to balance a diverse coalition of voters.

Konstantin Kisin: Britain is on the brink, Reform is the only party that gets it

Could the last Right-winger in the Conservative Party please turn out the lights?

Suella Braverman, former home secretary, has become the latest Tory to join Reform, telling a press conference: “I feel like I’ve come home”.

Camilla and Tim consider what is now left of the Conservatives and explain why Nigel Farage must avoid alienating the Tories so much that a Right-wing coalition becomes impossible.

Later, Keir Starmer has risked starting a Labour civil war after blocking Manchester mayor Andy Burnham’s bid to return to Westminster.

Former Labour MP Rosie Duffield tells The Daily T it is time for the "middle manager" PM to go and that she would return to the party if Burnham took the reins.

Braverman blasts Tory ‘lies’ in revenge Reform defection

One pub a day closed in 2025, as Labour clobbered the hospitality industry with higher business rates, a National Insurance and minimum wage hike, and an increase in alcohol duty.

With The Telegraph’s Save Our Pubs campaign calling on the Government to cease its assault on the Great British boozer, Camilla and Tim are in to Dorset to meet landlord Andy Lennox who is actively barring Labour MPs from his pubs.

They also speak to celebrity chef, restauranteur and publican Tom Kerridge, who pleads with the government to drop VAT to 10% in order to help the hospitality industry survive.

Save our pubs: The landlords calling last orders on Labour

Donald Trump has overseen the formation of the ‘Board of Peace’, a project which started as an effort to rebuild Gaza but has now morphed into a world peacekeeping force that could rival the United Nations.

But Keir Starmer and other European leaders have snubbed the invitation over Vladimir Putin’s possible involvement.

Allister tells Camilla and Tim why he’s “sick of Trump” and his "disgusting" diplomacy over Greenland, and why the Board of Peace won’t work.

Plus, is Keir Starmer’s worst nightmare about to come true? Labour MP Andrew Gwynne is set to resign, paving the way for Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to return to Westminster and make a bid to topple the PM.

Trump's ‘disgusting’ diplomacy derails peace plan

Donald Trump finally made it to Davos, three hours late.

After a flashing-light emergency on Air Force One, Mr Trump used the World Economic Forum platform to unload on Europe, the UK and pretty much anyone else in range. 

Marking a year since his inauguration, the US president mocked green energy, accused Britain of crippling itself by refusing to drill the North Sea, and claimed Europe has “destroyed itself”. Back home, Sir Keir Starmer showed unexpected steel at PMQs, saying he will not yield to Mr Trump’s pressure on Greenland.

Camilla and Tim unpack Mr Trump’s freewheeling Davos speech, from his fresh push to “acquire” Greenland (while confusing it with Iceland), to digs at Emmanuel Macron’s sunglasses, Canada’s “freebies”, and a promise to build a “golden dome” to protect North America. We ask what all of this tells us about the new world order.

Trump blows up Davos and demands Greenland

Keir Starmer’s belief that he’s the ‘Trump Whisperer’ appears to be in tatters. Having managed to say nothing of any great substance in response to the President’s tariff threats, the Prime Minister was on the end of a brutal social media evisceration overnight - as Trump took to Truth Social to call Labour’s Chagos Islands giveaway “stupid”.

Camilla and Tim question why Starmer has allowed himself to be bullied by Trump, how today’s approving of plans for the controversial Chinese super-embassy will surely only inflame tensions further, and just why - when it’s his favourite place in the world - Sir Keir isn’t moving heaven and earth to meet the President in Davos this week. 

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim discuss Brooklyn Beckham torching relations with his own family, and ask whether he’s the victim of “Brand Beckham’s” media control, or just a spoilt nepo baby?

Trump attacks ‘stupid’ Starmer over Chagos and China blunders

Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on the UK and seven other EU countries if they don’t give him what he wants: full US control of Greenland. In an emergency Downing Street press conference on Monday, Keir Starmer announced, well, not very much.

Camilla and Tim speak to The Telegraph’s Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator, David Blair, about the PM's attempt to keep the president and the EU happy, why Trump is really just after territory, and the future of the “special relationship”.

Later, Reform's newest MP, Andrew Rosindell, gives the inside story of how Nigel Farage convinced him to defect during a phone call on Saturday night.

Starmer does nothing as Trump threatens trade war over Greenland

Another Telegraph scoop: our journalist Gareth Corfield has exposed unredacted plans for the Chinese “super-embassy” that reveal a secret room within a metre of extremely sensitive data cables.

Camilla and Tim speak to Conservative MP and China hawk Iain Duncan Smith, who accuses the Government of “lying from start to finish” about the embassy.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim react to the news that the Government could ban X, after its AI tool ‘Grok’ began creating sexual “deepfakes”. Camilla reveals her experience having been sexualised by it, and they consider the consequences of going to war with Elon Musk.
